NASA’s Juno spacecraft sends home astonishing pictures of Jupiter

NASA’s Juno spacecraft is sending home staggering pictures of Jupiter that we believe would make really nice wall art if printed. Orbiting the gas giant since June 2016, Juno has been instrumental in collecting data on the planet at the closest possible range, revealing cyclones swirling around the planet’s poles, variation in its magnetic field, and evidence that Jupiter’s core is not as dense as we once thought. That’s all well and good, but the pictures are something else: One part van Gogh, one part Pillars of Creation.
